Could someone who knows engines please tell me how close of a cousin the
turbo 550C is to the normally aspirated 550N?  I am building a Legacy and
thinking of having one rebuilt and stripping the turbo off.  My call to
Continental tech support was less than helpful.  "they look different." Does
the 550C have lower compression?  Are the block and engine mounts common?  
Does anyone know a shop which could be helpful?  Would the turbo fit in the
cowling?
